9 Best Double Strollers of 2018

If you’re getting ready to expand your family or preparing to welcome twins, you’ll probably be looking for baby gear that will make your life easier. That’s where the double stroller comes in. But just like with all baby gear, there are so many options, and the info to sift through is endless! Should you go with in-line or side-by-side, splurge-worthy or budget-friendly, lightweight or full-feature? It really depends on your children’s age and lifestyle.

We’ve rounded up ten double strollers, including a cool hybrid cruiser, you should consider for your growing family.

1. Baby Jogger City Select Lux, from $629.99. The Baby Jogger City Select Lux is an in-line stroller that you can use as a single to double or, from day one, as a double for twins. The two seats are the same size and hold the same weight capacity, which isn’t the case for many double strollers out there. The City Select Lux offers over 20 seating options; and even though it is a full-feature double stroller, it is narrow and has a very impressive compact fold. Parents have the option of using a toddler seat as an alternative to a ride along board once their oldest outgrows the stroller seat.

2. Mountain Buggy Nano Duo, $499.99. Weighing only 20 pounds, the Mountain Buggy Nano Duo has the look, feel and convenience of a lightweight stroller. It is easy to fold and very compact — so much so that when it is folder, you can carry it on your shoulders, with the shoulder strap. This double stroller is also newborn friendly, and while it cannot be used as a travel system with car seats, the Nano Duo can be paired with a newborn cocoon for infants.

3. Nuna Demi Grow, $799.95. The Demi Grow is Nuna’s first single-to-double stroller, and it’s packed with special touches that the brand is known for — including Nuna’s signature dream drape. When converted to a double stroller, the sibling seat is identical to the main seat; and it remains pretty small, so it’s a great stroller if you are hoping to save space. That said, the Demi Grow offers fewer configurations than other in-line double strollers because the sibling seat can only be placed behind the main seat. But this isn’t a reason to write it off. Many toddlers find this to be a fun way to ride, and parents find it easier to push a double stroller with the seats in this position.

4. Bugaboo Donkey, from $1299. The Bugaboo Donkey is a luxury stroller that can be purchased in either single to double (mono/duo) or twin mode. In the mono setting, the Bugaboo Donkey not only gives you the advantage of more under carriage space than most strollers, but it also includes an added side basket. While some parents prefer in-line strollers because they are narrower, the Bugaboo Donkey offer the benefits of a side-by-side with a narrower frame — only 30 inches wide. The Donkey’s design also allows you to make your little ones face you or face the world, and both seats can recline fully for naps.

5. Graco UNO2DUO, $449.99. Graco’s newest edition, the UNO2DUO is not only a budget-friendly single-to-double stroller option, it’s got major longevity, which will save you even more money down the road! But what makes this stroller special, besides the price point, is the already small frame that extends only 5 inches once you convert it to a double. A built-in standing platform makes it easy for your older child to ride on without the extra purchase of a ride on board. The UNO2DUO is ideal for newborns because it’s compatible with the Graco Snugride car seat, and the stroller seat converts to a cozy infant bassinet.

6. UPPAbaby G-Link, starting at $399.99. UPPAbaby is known for its Vista stroller — one of the most popular single-to-double prams out there. But the brand also has a double umbrella stroller that we absolutely love. The G-link, which is ideal for both newborn babies and older children alike, collapses quickly and even stands when folded. We also love the extra-large canopies that keep little ones protected from the sun with UPF 50+ sunshades.

7. Bumbleride Indie Twin, $769. For those who prefer eco-friendly baby gear, the Bumbleride Indie Twin will be an obvious choice. The fabrics on this side-by-side double stroller are made from 100% recycled polyester and are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I certified, which means it is free from harmful chemicals. With its car seat compatibility and 90-pound weight limit, the Indie Twin will be with you for the long haul; and its large air-filled tires (pump included!) and narrow frame makes it the perfect stroller for adventuring with your two littles.

8. Bob Revolution Flex Duallie, $639.99. Not even twins can slow you down? Then you’re going to need a reliable running stroller, and the Bob Revolution Flex Duallie is the best one for the job. State-of-the-art suspension means it can handle any terrain; a swiveling-locking front wheel provides extra stability; and hand-activated rear drum brakes increase downhill control. And as if this running stroller couldn’t get any better, each seat can hold up to a whopping 50 pounds, meaning you’ll have many a running day ahead of you.

9. Veer Cruiser, $599. What happens when you combine a stroller and wagon? You get the Veer, an all-terrain cruiser. While the Veer does not replace the traditional double stroller, it’s a very cool new option on the market for toting multiple children around. Think of it as your family’s adventure companion: with the Veer you can push or pull you’re little ones over any terrain, fold it flat to easily pop it in and out of your trunk. Not to mention, you can even connect a car seat on it!

10. SNEAK PEEK: Thule Sleek Convertible, $799.95. If you can wait to purchase a stroller, you may actually want to. Thule is known for their rugged outdoor equipment — think bike trailers and cargo carriers. But they also make strollers; and their newest addition, the Sleek, is a single-to-double stroller that will make its debut in June 0f 2018. Even as a full-feature stroller, it only weighs in at under 25 pounds. Also unique to this stroller, an enclosed basket that keeps your belongings dry in bad weather, is easy to access without unzipping every time you need something, and when the stroller is folded your goods stay put, which is pretty cool.
